Read this excerpt from The Great Fire.

Several minutes passed before Schaffer looked up from what he was doing and saw flames leaping wildly into the black sky. The light was from a different fire after all; he'd been fooled because this new blaze was almost directly behind the still-flickering remnants of the Saturday October 7 fire.

He studied the flames, trying to determine their exact location. This wasn't easy because of the distance and tall buildings between him and the flames. In addition, the moonless sky was made even murkier by the swirling, smoky haze. Schaffer signaled down the speaking tube and had his assistant strike Box 342. This sent engines rumbling through the streets — to a location almost a mile away from the O'Learys' barn.

What caused Schaffer to instruct his assistant to strike Box 342, accidentally sending firefighters to the wrong place?

the dark, hazy night and the tall buildings
the remnants of the previous fire

As the two climbed into the ring, the crowd exploded with a roar. Antonio and Felix both bowed gracefully and then raised their arms in acknowledgment.
Antonio tried to be cool, but even as the roar was in its first birth, he turned slowly to meet Felix’s eyes looking directly into his. Felix nodded his head and Antonio responded. And both as one, just as quickly, turned away to face his own corner.

Using ethos, pathos and logos write a short paragraph to your parents convincing them to remove your curfew.

The first step in her downward course was in her ceasing to instruct me. She now commenced to practice her husband's precepts. She finally became even more violent in her opposition than her husband himself. She was not satisfied with simply doing as well as he had commanded; she seemed anxious to do better. Nothing seemed to make her more angry than to see me with a newspaper. She seemed to think that here lay the danger. I have had her rush at me with a face made all up of fury, and snatch from me a newspaper, in a manner that fully revealed her apprehension. She was an apt woman; and a little experience soon demonstrated, to her satisfaction, that education and slavery were incompatible with each other.

He said to his friend, "If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,--
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm."

Read the following paragraph. How does sentence 3 develop the main idea of the paragraph?

Gertrude Belle Elion was born on Jan. 23, 1918, in New York City.
She graduated from Hunter College in New York City with a degree in biochemistry in 1937.
Unable to obtain a graduate research position because she was a woman, she took a series of jobs, including lab assistant, chemistry and physics teacher in New York City high schools, and research chemist.
During this time she also took classes at New York University, where she earned a master's degree in 1941.
Because she could not devote herself to full-time studies, Elion never received a doctorate.
It shows how determined Elion was to learn more about biochemistry.
It supports the idea that Elion could not get accepted into colleges.
It shows how her different jobs helped her to be a better chemist.
It supports the idea that women can be very determined.

Finding Your evidence
Can parents go too far in supporting their children’s dreams? This is a question
people sometimes ask when they hear the story of the teenage mountain climber,
Jordan Romero. Between the ages of 10 and 15, Jordan climbed the highest mountain
on every continent—and his father and stepmother climbed them with him. They call
themselves Team Jordan.
Paul Romero, Jordan’s father, was taken by surprise when his 9-year-old son
firmly announced his intention to climb “the seven summits.” Jordan had seen a mural at
school, showing the seven peaks that make up this pantheon of mountains. When he
told his father what he wanted to do, Paul Romero’s jaw dropped. Paul Romero is an
experienced mountaineer, so he knew what was involved. He also knew his son.
“We’ve always taught him to just think big and we’ll try to make it happen,” Paul
Romero said. But, as Romero later noted, there was a fine line between encouraging
his son and pushing him too far. The father began by training his son so that he could
“begin to even understand what mountaineering was—that there’s this long, hard, dirty,
un-fun hours and days and weeks of carrying packs and long, extensive, brutal travel,
and all this type of stuff just before you can even think of climbing a mountain.”
Jordan persevered, though, and in July 2006, when he was 10 years old, Jordan
and his family climbed 19,300-foot-high Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak on the

African continent. This was the first rung in the amazing ladder that Jordan Romero had
set out to climb. Over the next five and a half years, Team Jordan climbed Mount Elbrus
in Russia (2007), Mount Aconcagua in South America (2007), Mount McKinley in North
America (2008), Mount Carstensz Pyramid in Indonesia (2009), Mount Everest in Asia
(2010), and Vinson Massif in Antarctica (2011). In many of these climbs, Jordan set a
world record as the youngest ever to climb the peak. When he completed the seven
summits at 15, he was the youngest person ever to accomplish that feat.
It was the Mount Everest ascent—when Jordan was only 13 years old—that has
created the greatest controversy. Jordan’s feat as the youngest person to reach “the
top of the world” was publicized around the world. “How Young Is Too Young?” asked
one newspaper headline. Many mountain climbers and medical experts questioned
whether a 13-year-old boy could climb so high (Mount Everest is almost 30,000 feet
high) without physically harming his body. Dr. Michael Bradley, a psychologist and
expert on teen behavior, noted, “Most 13-year-olds don’t have the wiring to make
cognitive life-and-death decisions and are not truly able to understand what they’re
signing on for.” Another physician, Dr. Peter Hackett, reported that there are conflicting
opinions about the effects on a young brain. Some theories say that a young brain is
more resilient; others say that it may be more vulnerable.
Many climbers take exception to the publicity surrounding Team Jordan. Everest
climber Todd Burleson summed it up by saying, “He’s got his whole life to climb
Everest. Being the youngest boy to climb is a fashionable, celebrity-oriented sort of
thing. But it’s not about the mountains. It’s like trying to get your PhD at ten.” Paul
Romero claims that he is fully aware of the risks. There is a fine line between
encouraging Jordan and pushing him too far, he says. He talked about the point where
Jordan might have “reached his maximum mentally, physically, and where the risk has
become too high.” He said, “Jordan has just not even come close to that point yet.”
And what about Jordan, now that he has accomplished his goal of climbing the
seven summits before his 16th birthday? Unsurprisingly, he has a new mission. He calls
it Find Your Everest. In 2012 Team Jordan set out to encourage young people to be
active and healthy and to pursue their own adventures. In the process, he is inviting
young people to join him in climbing the highest peak in each state. (They range from
Denali or Mount McKinley at 20,320 feet to Florida’s greatest height—345-foot-high
Britton Hill!)
“I feel good about what my parents have taught me about setting goals,” Jordan
says. And now he wants to spread that message to others.
